[color=blue]>  Last I heard "Rescue on Fractalus" and "Ballblazer" were to be released[/color]
[color=blue]>  with the mythical atari "7800" that electronic games did a spread on.[/color]
[color=blue]>  I didn't ever see the machine or the games. What were they running on[/color]
[color=blue]>  at BAYCON?[/color]

   They were being played on a plain old Atari 800XL (not even an XE!) same
as the new games under developement.  I've ordered Ballblazer for my old
800 (not even an XL!) from Software Discounters of America (1-800-225-7638)
for $26 and should get it next week.
